Coral has been a prized material in Tibet and the Himalayan regions for many centuries. Indeed, the majority of Tibetans regard natural red coral to be more precious than gold and the most prized beads can sell for hundreds of dollars per gram in Tibet.
The majority of antique 'Tibetan' red coral originated from the Mediterranean Sea. It travelled along the silk trade route via Iran, Samarkand, Ladakh and then finally ended up in the markets of Lhasa. It was also traded to India by a direct sea route from the end of the 15th Century. This made it much easier for Tibetan traders to get a more regular supply of this material. Today, Mediterranean coral is now rightly protected from harvesting, so it has become very difficult to find genuine beads.
Please look at pictures carefully and judge the condition before placing the order. The articles "vintage"/"old/" have lived and sometimes show signs of wear, traces of time... And that's exactly what gives them all their charm. I do my best to show and describe any exceptional wear or damage. If you would like additional information please feel free to send me message.
